With the recession biting into profits, small businesses in the U.A.E. are being encouraged to gain the edge over their competition by signing up to management training from the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM).
ILM training courses can be tailored to the needs of individual organisations and their managers. Throughout the training courses, participants can work through the skills needed to manage their teams effectively though the recession, ensure a motivated workforce and achieve organisational goals.
The new unitised public ILM courses offered at Knowledgenetwork allow organisations the flexibility to send a few candidates at a time rather than losing a whole team to training. Candidates are able to come in for training to suit their organisation's schedules; this means organisations do not need to be concerned about downtime while a whole team is out for training.
"Our customers seem to really appreciate the flexibility of the unitised course work. Companies are better able to manage cash flows as well as work flow; and individuals benefit by having some control of their training time. Candidates can take as long as a year or as little as three weeks for some qualifications" said Diane Mitchell, Programme Manager.
She added: "By investing in management development, organisations can give their staff and leaders greater confidence in their management and leadership abilities which is crucial in the challenging times ahead. Developing effective leaders through management development is the single most cost-effective investment an organisation can make to enhance the performance and efficiency of its staff."
ILM offers a comprehensive and flexible range of leadership and management qualifications. Knowledgenetwork delivers practically-focused qualifications, covering the range of disciplines most in demand, from team leading to a certificate in workplace coaching.
Qualifications offered by Knowledgenetwork can be tailored to meet the development needs of local businesses and individuals, so that they are able to lead employees through the challenging times ahead and give their organisation a real competitive advantage.
